I listened to your blues lead. I suggest you end each phrase of your pentatonic runs on a significant beat such as the end of a measure or the first note of the next measure, especially when the chord changes. Draw the final note out like you mean it and and put some vibrato on it. The blues is about feeling and expression, much like singing. Also, move from one note of the scale to one that is not adjacent to it....even skipping over a string. Otherwise it sounds like going up a ladder and back down it. And down be afraid to put some skinny strings on your guitar so you can bend them up a half or even a whole step. Good Luck.
